All fibre hats, bags & products by Lorna Murray Apparel have been carefully handcrafted by artisans from all-natural fibres. By handling items carefully you will extend the lifetime of your artisan pieces.

First and foremost, never leave your hat in the car or in direct sunlight when not being worn. 

Any potential irregularities in the fibre, weave & colour are characteristic of the handmade process.

Colours may soften & fibres may become more fragile over time. When not being worn, rest your hat upside down on the crown or lay folded in half and flat.

Over time tugging or pulling on the brim too firmly can cause ripping or tearing. Do not squeeze the fibres of your hat in your hands.

If wet, dry away from direct sunlight.

A soft brush can be used to remove dust.

Your fibre hat, bag or product can be sponged lightly with a damp cloth. Fibre items can be cleaned using a mild soap solution; combine a tablespoon of mild washing powder with cold water. Pat gently with a cloth then rinse.

To extend the life of your handmade item, avoid leaving folded for extended periods of time & please store carefully. Do not use chemical cleaners.

Always handle with care.

This may include, but is not limited to, a softer or looser weave, a loose thread, missing grass fibre, twisted grass fibre, small dye stains or a discontinued style.
